Hands-on Geometry Folding Shapes Kit, 16 pcs
Understanding geometry, and especially the difference between 2D and 3D, becomes much easier when children can see, touch, fold, and build the shapes themselves.Â
In this set, each geometric shape comes as both a clear 3D figure and a fold-out 2D net, helping children understand how flat shapes transform into three-dimensional forms.Â
A brilliant way for children to explore, compare, analyse, and build 3D shapes through hands-on, visual learning.Â
Try laying out all the 2D nets on a table and let children guess which 3D shape each one folds into. It’s a great way to explore perimeter, area, volume, and many other abstract geometry concepts.
All edges are rounded for comfortable handling.
Children can experiment with the following geometric shapes:Â
- Cylinder
- Square pyramid
- Cube
- Rectangular prism
- Cone
- Hexagonal prism
- Triangular pyramid
- Triangular prism
The set includes 16 pieces in total.

Science is not necessarily something dull and difficult that adults mess around with in distant offices or laboratories. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) toys are proof of that. Also, playing with STEM-based tools and toys expands your child's interest in the world of science.
Do you know what STEM means, and why most kids learn better when school subjects mix and mingle?

Do you know Learning Resources?
Providing children with materials that make learning fun is essential for Learning Resources - as their name implies.In particular, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) is a focal point at Learning Resources. For instance, your child can learn to explore and experiment, build robots, and learn to code. For educators and teachers, Learning Resources is a learning goldmine. Math games, coding dinosaurs, and sorting animals can really add some fun to the teaching.
